The Concept

A flagship week built on real race roads

Daily rides roll out from Mamer station; for the Moselle days and the LBL Monument excursion, the group drives to a closer start to keep the kilometres on the river or the race roads. The camp runs on one simple rule: alternating hard and easy, never two hard days in a row.

Five of the seven rides overlap directly with stages of the Tour de Luxembourg or, on Saturday, the Liège–Bastogne–Liège Monument. Riders take the same roads as the pros.

Beyond the Bike

A week of moments

History, nature, music, food, wine and business — six chapters of a Luxembourg week.

History · in the Saddle

Castles of the Grand Duchy

Vianden · Bourscheid · Beaufort · Esch-sur-Sûre

Tuesday's queen stage finishes in the courtyard of Vianden castle; Thursday descends past the medieval ruin at Esch-sur-Sûre; Beaufort and Bourscheid silhouettes punctuate the road. Half the week is ridden in their shadow.

Nature · Four Landscapes

Mullerthal, Moselle, Ardennes

"Little Luxembourg Switzerland" — and three more

Sandstone forest and waterfalls in the Mullerthal, the terraced Moselle wine valley, the high Ardennes plateau, the rolling Eisch around Mamer. The country in seven days — and you see it from the saddle.

Culture · Music

Two concerts at Luxexpo

The Offspring · Lenny Kravitz

The Offspring on Wed 1 Jul — built into the week, Day 3 ride finishes early. For those staying on, Lenny Kravitz plays the same venue on Wed 8 Jul. Free tram from the city centre.

The Offspring →    Lenny Kravitz →
Dining · Tables & Terraces

Luxembourg's top tables

Five evenings · two lunches on the river

Luxembourg punches well above its weight on dining — a deep bench of Michelin and Gault&Millau addresses, and a summer-terrace culture that turns the city into an outdoor room. Every evening of the camp ends at a hand-picked table.

On the Route

Moselle wineries

Friday loop · Sunday farewell

A curated tasting on Friday and a farewell on the river Sunday. Working shortlist:

  • Caves Bernard-Massard
  • Caves St Martin
  • Vinsmoselle Wormeldange
  • Restaurant Koeppchen
  • Domaine Krier-Welbes
Business · After the Camp

Gcore Connect 2026

6 – 7 July 2026 · Luxembourg · Private AI Infrastructure Forum

The riding week closes as Gcore Connect opens — Gcore's invite-style forum on private AI infrastructure. Two days for anyone in tech, AI or edge computing who wants to extend the trip.
